Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna told US media outletsthat 70,000 residents were under evacuation orders or warnings in the EatonFire area, while 60,000 residents were under similar directives in thePalisades Fire region.
“This is still a very fluid situation, there's zerocontainment on this fire. I'm really praying we don't find more, but I don'tthink that's going to be the case,” he explained.
Thick clouds of smoke and ash have blanketed the air,prompting warnings about air quality across a wide swath of SouthernCalifornia.
“Emergency rooms are seeing patients affected by the smoke,even as hospitals grapple with overcrowding due to flu season,” he clarified.
The smoke from the fires has significantly increased theconcentration of particulate matter in the air, which can pose health risks,particularly for children, the elderly, and individuals with preexistingconditions such as heart and lung diseases are particularly vulnerable.
